Like cool, blue water for your ears. Releasing many moons after its namesake, the soundtrack for the Freedom Cry DLC to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is still as relevant and interesting as ever. Here, Olivier Deriviere of Remember Me fame has crafted a lush audio experience for video game music fans full of high drama and high seas. I’ve listened to it repeatedly for months waiting to be able to recommend it to others to buy and that moment finally arrived on May 12th of this year. The opener, "The Root," feels like an amuse-bouche, giving listeners a sampling of the interest to look forward to over the 17-track album. At first, I was reeled in by the frantic instrumentation of many of the songs. I’m generally a fan of songs with a lot of momentum, and Deriviere has delivered that in spades but without overdoing the intensity. Songs like "Fight the Tyranny" and "Attack at Sea" respect my ears enough to switch up the foreground and background melodies plenty. This results in each song feeling a little like a musical suite but without any pauses. Not every track is fast, though, and necessary calm washes over the sea just as effectively. I appreciated the melodic introspection of "False Paradise," which felt like a nighttime lullaby in a way. "A Boat to Freedom" conveys a sense of traveling over a smooth ocean using small and frequent percussion sounds to maintain the small waves lapping under the hull. It’s easy to lose yourself in these engrossing tunes. Freedom Cry focuses on the Trinidadian assassin, Adeówaleó, and in order to invoke a soulful Caribbean feel that separates this album from the main game soundtrack, Deriviere collaborated with the Haitian music group, La Troupe Makandal. These singers are the shining force here even if they don’t feature on each track. In a few instances, like in "Brothers and Sisters," they appear after a few minutes of pure instrumentation to bring a passionate and emotional closing. Praise should also be heaped on the soloist, Monvelyno Alexis, who lends a heavy heart to "The Root" and the closing track, "The Freedom Cry." He is easily one of the strongest and most compelling vocalists to hit my video game soundtrack collection, and together with his team, they become absolute assets to the music. I have lots of love for the classic, booming church choir, but the raw energy Makandal exhibits feels fresh and new in a sea of oft-ignored background music. This soundtrack, which had me excited from the first listen, has put Olivier Deriviere on my list of composers to listen for. For $11 (on iTunes) for the digital album, you’ll be treating your ears to something refreshing and unique in the gaming soundscape.

Carl Williams writes, "Wow, has it really been 20 years since Capcom took on the Aliens vs Predator license? This is one of the better brawlers from this era and very much worthy of being played if you can track down a cabinet, yeah, this one never came home (no, the SNES game by Activision doesnt count). This is Capcom and this is a brawler on the CPS-2 hardware which means Final Fight style graphics and gameplay but with movie licensed characters just waiting to slice you in half."

Gamezebo Rating: Having no prior experience with the first game, I went in to Shadow Fight 2 totally blind. Which, I suppose, kind of makes sense. You know... because everyone's a shadow. But while I was extremely impressed with the fluidity of the animations and the detail on the character silhouettes, that all quickly gave way to frustration as I found myself fighting the controls more than my opponents. When the nameless protagonist is somehow reduced to nothing more than a mere (and literal) shadow of his former self, he'll have to fight to get it back. And I mean really fight for it. All sorts of demons and henchmen stand is his way, and none of them want to make it easy. Fortunately he's a reasonably proficient fighter - at least, he's getting there. That's where you come in.
